For the study, researchers randomly assigned 3,027 patients to have catheters placed in one of three locations: nontunneled central venous catheterization to the subclavian, jugular, or femoral vein.

Per 1000 catheter-days, these combined complications occurred at a rate of 1.5 events for subclavian vein catheters, 3.6 for jugular vein catheters, and 4.6 for femoral vein catheters (P = .02).
